Comprehension is the other key to unlock the brain and boost confidence. Once you understand some or most of another language, your confidence increases by BIG drops. Once your confidence increases, your brain opens itself to receive more input.

It is un cercle vertueux, a virtuous circle.

L’input optimal

Optimal input is comprehensible input to language learners. It focuses the acquirer on the message and not on form. To go a step further, the best input is so interesting and relevant that the acquirer may even “forget” that the message is encoded in a foreign language.

My goal as a second language teacher (I prefer to call myself language parent) is to help make input comprehensible and interesting.

I use supplementations to achieve this goal:

Drawings

Written Words

Gestures (Body Movements)

Mimic (Facial Expressions)

Synonyms/Antonyms, Suffix/Prefix, Parts of Speech, Word Families

Learner’s First Language

Slow & Clear Speech

Shorter, Easier Sentences

Quick Explanation about the rules of the Language. The explanation may make the input more comprehensible.

Une histoire et un livre

Gaining confidence in reading is also key. That is why it is best to start with easy readers. They are repetitive and simple and use many cognates and high-frequency words to make the book comprehensible. Jean-Paul et ses bonnes idées is perfect!

I love hearing from you so keep up sending me feedback. I am here to help you acquire French effortlessly.

Happy French acquisition!
